More stuff.

I want to program a game but to have some other stuff added to it.
How do you make a beep or put music into a program.
How do you make words delay before showing up (for example when you press enter, the screen will show "Hello" and then 2 seconds later it'll show "World" under it.)
How do you make a menu with using arrows keys instead of number pressing.
And last, how do you change the colour of some words.

the arrow keys is a good bit to learn i could teach you or u could learn your own if u want me to teach you tell me and if you want to learn on your own learn how to use getch() and if u dont know already switch statements

Experiment with SetConsoleTextAttribute, there are 15 text colors, and numbers after 15 are background colors.

Working with the arrow keys, well, it's very tricky, you have to instantly scan key pressing, then knowing what you pressed, to change the position of a pointer and refreshing the screen every single time. I can teach you, you can see this in my console game Skeptor: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/77350/
Tell me if you really want to, but it's a little bit advanced... Trust me!

Hey legitiment, I already showed beeps to you, now, experiment with them! :3
Adding real music files is easy, there are several ways, but I'll wait for someone to explain you better, as I don't remember the "easy" way.

Maybe I'll continue tomorrow, but after having this clearly, you need to start working on the main function, with parameters to know what to show before the options and what are the options themselves.

That code won't work for the arrow keys, those are not the ascii codes for those keys. On my system using your code all arrow keys result in 224. Those may be the key codes, but key codes and ascii (character) codes are not necessarily equivalent.

I didn't say that ASCII codes and key codes are the same, and I'm almost sure those numbers work. Try downloading my console game; Skeptor, and see if the arrow keys work. If they don't... I'll see... D:

The example you posted in this thread doesn't work, at least not for me. I did some research and it appears the control code for special keys are in the second byte of the extended 2 byte character like

I have seen yours and oppositescopez code and see it works without the second getch call. If you put a break point on the switch line you will see the value change from 224 for int or unsigned char (or -32 for char I believe) to the correct control code.
Hopefully someone can shed some light as to why the single call to getch works sometimes as is the case for your game.
At any rate, I apologize for posting before full researching and testing.
